From India With Love
Anyone who has traveled to India will tell you that the scent of incense & flowers is everywhere. I visited a small attar shop on Mohammed Ali Rd in Mumbai, specifically for his sandal extract. I found to my delight some of the most beautiful attars I have had the pleasure to indulge in.
True natural Indian Attars & ruhs have long been applied daily to pulse points or specific marma points by the Vedic healers of India to "quiet the
mind & calm the spirit...soothing & calming the nervous system & heart while producing a mild euphoria".
Attars can be applied more than once throughout the day creating a mild & beautiful aromatic vapor around one's body bringing the healing effects of the oils to those near as well as to oneself.
First thing that caught my eye was a dark colored essence set away from the other bottles- Ruh Khus, the soul of Vetiver. Other Offerings...Mitti(baked earth), Gulab (rose), Motia (jasmine) & Gul Hina. Not listed on the site...Sandal Extract ($65) & a gorgeous Oud ($78-Oud/Agarwood is the most costly, most sought after oil in the world...with a woodsy, powerful scent, it is renowned for spiritual enlightenment, protection & deep meditations. |
